Apple Arcade, Xbox Game Pass, and Nintendo Switch offer a wide range of single-player games for mobile, console, and handheld gaming enthusiasts. Apple Arcade provides multiplayer modes, character customization, and immersive worlds across various genres, including sports, puzzles, and adventure. Xbox Game Pass offers AAA titles, indie classics, and party games, providing authentic and high-quality experiences for players. Nintendo Switch features games that are not very long and can be completed before going on vacation.
According to data gathered by Appfigures, AAA games for iPhones and iPads, such as Resident Evil Village and Assassin's Creed Mirage, are not successful. Assassin's Creed Mirage has over 123,000 downloads but less than 3,000 paid users, while Resident Evil 4 has 357,000 downloads and 7,000 paid users. Analysts believe people prefer simpler and more casual games on their phones and tablets. The limited availability of AAA titles on specific iPhone and iPad models also contributes to their lack of popularity. Some speculate that Apple paid game studios to promote their hardware.
Apple Arcade has recently released new games such as NBA 2K22, Lifeline, LEGO DUPLO WORLD+, and more. It is available on multiple Apple devices, with a free trial for the first month and a subsequent monthly cost of $5. Xbox Game Pass includes a curated collection of single-player games for Xbox console players, with new games added each month.
